Latest Updates

US imports of goods and services surged by $20.0 billion to $358.8 billion in July 2025, the highest in four months amid persistent trade tariff uncertainty. Goods imports rose by $18.4 billion, led by higher purchases of industrial supplies and materials, particularly nonmonetary gold. Capital goods imports also advanced, driven by computers, telecommunications equipment, and other industrial machinery, while consumer goods increased mainly on stronger jewelry demand. By contrast, imports of automotive vehicles, parts, and engines declined. Meanwhile, services imports grew by $1.7 billion, supported by transport, travel, and other business services.
